I can’t justify this 2x increase in cost. Good luck! ### 3/5 — Almost great *2021-02-04* I’ve been using this app since before the name change. It worked much better before they changed the name. I only mention the change because before that it never died on me. These days even with the always permission for location it often stops tracking. Should they fix this problem it would be 4 stars! ### 3/5 — 🤙🏻 *2019-06-22, version 3.3.1* It could definitely use the Google maps ### 4/5 — Like Except For..... *2018-11-18* I like everything about Bluelane except it has a tendency to quit on me. As a result I constantly monitor it instead of letting it run in the background while I do my UberEATS thing on my bicycle. ### 4/5 — Need some improvement *2018-09-09* This app is good, but it would of been cooler if it had an option in which it can let you mark certain points on the map, like stops, points of interest. And also download maps. ### 5/5 — best tracking app! *2016-05-28* First off, this is an amazing app. It just works, I've used it on long vacations. App will even resume track after a reboot. However, it does seem the power settings are a little goofy... but could be just me. Either way, best app in its class! ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2016-04-21* I've tested this app with a friend who lives across the country from me, and he was able to track in real time my entire day's travel; even showing my various speeds on various roads and the amount of miles driven for that route. Be aware though, that if you use your iPhone during tracking, tracking will pause for the person watching you on the PC map, but it resumes again, and "catches up" with the route tracing when the call is complete. However, using the Magicjack app or any other "data" type phone service on the iPhone does not affect the tracking. Both of us were amazed with the accuacy of this app and how easy it is to use. Simply click "share" and send a link either by email or message, and the person you want to track you can then click the link and be taken directly to a live map. It works GREAT and worth the purchase fee. ### 5/5 — Does the trick and doesn't drain my battery *2016-04-15* This does exactly what it says it will do and it doesn't crush my battery. ### 5/5 — Fantastic. *2016-02-12, version 2.3* This is an exceptional product. My team uses Track to facilitate 'survey-grade' mobile mapping. ### 4/5 — Great for tracking your runner *2015-10-06* My wife is a runner and I am her photographer. Problem is it is difficult to get pics of your runner if you don't know where they are on the course. I was very skeptical about this App especially with the $4.99 price tag. I was concerned that this App would not update regularly enough to be useful, but this App performed above my expectation. My initial test realized my hope that this app was tracking in real time. I watched my wife run to the end of the block and turn down the next street and the blip on my phone mimicked her exact location and movement with little or no delay. This App worked perfectly to track my wife at the Twin Cities Marathon and know exactly where she was the whole time. I got some great photos as a result. Well worth the price tag for me and my family. I knew when to start taking photos and my kids knew right when to start cheering for mom! Loved that you can share the live track with non-app user on a simple browser with a short URL. Many of my wife's friends were able to virtually participate in her achievement and cheer her on via Facebook. I would love to see continued improvements in this App and the online data available on the web. Would love to see track data stats online like: pace/speed, average speed, max speed, start time, end time, duration, distance, altitude, altitude gain. Wish I could see my geolocation in relation to the tracker, this would be handy in finding each other after an event. Would also be great to knowing that the Track App had been stopped or ended by the App user. Thank you for a great App that works like I hoped! ### 5/5 — Outstanding!!! *2015-09-15* Elite performance capabilities, simple to use lets you see how many people have and or are currently watching. Saves map to history when tracking is ended which can be referenced at later date. Tracks mileage as well. All thumbs up!!!!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — New pricing is awful *2024-03-22* Appalled to see the price change from 2 to 12 dollars a month. I was using the app to record my trips and share locations with my relatives so I was using it about 4-5 times a year and didn’t mind paying 2-3 bucks a month for that. But 12 is just an overkill. Found a few apps that do the same for way less. ### 1/5 — Can’t track route on Apple Watch unless iPhone is with me. *2021-10-07* I subscribed to the live tracking service so that family could track me during a recent obstacle race but when I tried to start the tracker on my Apple Watch series 6 (gps+cellular), it always would say “can’t reach iPhone”. It only works if my phone is with me. The entire reason why hi got the watch and this app what is so that I would not have to drag my phone along with me having it bounce around in my pocket and risk damaging it. Kind of defeats the purpose of having the watch app if you still have to drag your phone along with you even though one of the selling points is that you can leave your phone behind and still live track your location from your watch. ### 1/5 — Hate update! *2021-06-20* Have used this app for years & hate this update! App kept shutting off & had to constantly resume. The marked location is too easy to accidentally click & can’t find anyway to get rid of the accidental marked locations. Am searching for another app to record our trips. Certainly would not recommend this app at this time. ### 1/5 — Tech-support unavailable *2021-04-22, version 16.1* Downloaded the new version lost all my old routes . Sent countless of emails to tech-support no answer back I do not recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Worked great until the update *2018-08-08* This app worked perfectly for what I needed until they updated it. When I contacted them for troubleshooting, they said I was running too many apps at once. I run 3 at one time (mileage calculator, time sheet, and Bluelane) and there was never an issue until this update. I have to run all three apps but since this one can’t keep up, it’s in the trash. Would not recommend if you need to use more than one app at a time. **Developer response:** Thousands of people use the app every day without issues. Unfortunately, we cannot be responsible for a single device with hardware or operating system faults. ### 1/5 — Free app, pay service *2018-07-27, version 3.1.1* I hate this baiting scheme that app companies pull. As soon as the app opens, it informs you of the subscription....click “DELETE”. ### 1/5 — Id give it less if I could. *2015-08-29, version 2.3* It doesn't record accurately, straight lines aren't routes. ### 1/5 — Owner *2013-06-16, version 1.2.2* False Advertising! Does not allow posting to Facebook, the main reason we bought the app. ### 2/5 — Great App *2024-05-20* I use it for work when I do ride alongs with driver all the time runs great accurate records easy to use only suggestion is to have the screen info have the ability to print it out Now the app no longer saves maps thinking of canceling fix or I’m out ### 2/5 — I used to love this app… then it went subscription *2024-04-24, version 22.3.1* This app was incredible! I loved the ability to track my trips, share them in real time, and look back/export them for memories. Then the developer got greedy. $5/week, or $50/yr?! No thanks. Now my memories are trapped in this thing forever. Don’t make my mistake. Look elsewhere. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Real-time Tracking *2020-10-10, version 15.1* Used this for supporters to track our progress for a fundraising kayak on the River Thames over 6 days. All they had to do was click on a link on our website to track our progress in real time. Just needed to remember to pause tracking at the end of each day and restart at the beginning of the next. Received lots of positive feedback on the real-time tracking. ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2020-07-11, version 11.0* Love this app!! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2019-07-03* I absolutely love this app. It lets my family track me real time down to the smallest, most remote location. Most definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Best of its Kind! *2018-10-11* I’ve been using this app for years to share progress with friends and family during hikes or road trips. Take some time to experiment with the app over the course of a couple of weeks and find the settings that work best for you. You can choose from high precision, at the cost of more battery and data or you can choose smart mode which is still very accurate but saves a lot of battery and data because it only updates on significant position changes. With the new Siri shortcuts added, you can now even share a trip with friends and family without taking your hands off the wheel. You can also generate a link and share it anywhere, via message, social media, whatever you want just paste the link. Excellent app. ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-09-02* I use it to record motorcycle rides and let others check on my progress. Works great. Only minor gripe is battery usage can be high and if not in real time it will draw straight lines without regard to actual logical road routes. ### 5/5 — Data pig *2018-05-14* I like this app a lot. But you have to use only your gps because it uses a ton of data in a short amount of time. It will track you just fine without cellular data turned on. You can turn on your data for this app for a short time just to be able to see the map. Don’t forget to turn the data back off though!! ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-03-07, version 2.4.3* I purchased this app to track my rural motorbike rides that are primarily made up of mountainous back roads. I’ve used the app twice and have found it to work flawlessly. Not only that, it is easy to use. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2017-05-25, version 2.3* Got this app to track rides on my motorcycle- it's fantastic and works like a charm ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2016-10-15, version 2.3* This is an awesome app. Makes sharing your location and route with your friends a breeze - no need to create any accounts or other nonsense. Love it. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Tracking *2016-06-19* I love to use this app! All the time. It's accurate, helpful and fun! I'm currently using it to allow friends and family to track us on our cross country trek. I love it!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
